The United States will be powerfully supporting those industries, like Airlines and others, that are particularly affected by the Chinese Virus. We will be stronger than ever before!

Cuomo wants “all states to be treated the same.” But all states aren’t the same. Some are being hit hard by the Chinese Virus, some are being hit practically not at all. New York is a very big “hotspot”, West Virginia has, thus far, zero cases. Andrew, keep politics out of it….

Dear @realDonaldTrump: Asian Americans will likely encounter more discrimination because of your tweet below. Please stop your unnecessary rhetoric.#COVID19 is now an American virus, an Italian virus, a Spanish virus. We all are impacted & we all need to work together. https://t.co/yLzNmpJZHs

Its called the Coronavirus and its now as American as apple pie so stop racist comments.

There it is. I’ve been deathly afraid of this exact moment where Trump turns to racism and xenophobia and calls COVID-19 the “Chinese Virus.” We are in deep trouble as a nation now that President of the United States makes the conscious decision to go down this dark path of hate.

"Chinese virus."

American jackass.

Of course he called it "Chinese Virus," because he doesn't care that Asians and Asian Americans are subjected to hate violence because of this racist description of #coronavirus. https://t.co/g5ewbNhteE

Nice racist dog whistle there, POTUS.

Asian American Trump supporters, after he's done throwing you under the bus, please feel free to come over to the side that will vote this awful human being out of office. https://t.co/rGOIkao6zw

I really don't like this tendency to blame all Chinese for the coronavirus. There's a long and brutal xenophobic history of blaming foreigners for diseases, and we bungled our own response to #COVID19 so badly that we shouldn't make scapegoats of others. https://t.co/XBpuykgSLt

What a president! By labeling the COVID-19 “Chinese virus,” Trump tries to hide his administration's lack of prevention & control measures against the #coronavirus. He passes the buck to China, trying to prove that he is NOT responsible for the current situation the US is facing. https://t.co/LubdzY1G1y

The US stock market crash dealt a heavy blow to Trump’s team. They have no efficient way to fight the pandemic and all they can do in the panic is to save themselves by making China a scapegoat. https://t.co/Zfm27xqQ8u

Mr. President: This is not acceptable. Calling it the "Chinese virus" only instigates blame, racism, and hatred against Asians – here and abroad. We need leadership that speaks clearly against racism; Leadership that brings the nation and world together. Not further divides. https://t.co/wPTcnoO5QU

This is racist, full stop.

You can't rename COVID-19 to distract from your own administration's too-little, too-late response. https://t.co/a0Mdy85AxM

Pres Trump changed his entire tone during today's WH briefing on coronavirus. He was somber. He said U.S. & world had no control over it. He said U.S. might see a recession.

Now, just 4 hrs later, he is back to leaning on cultural wars & calling coronavirus the "Chinese virus." https://t.co/LIvosx1oyH

Does Don know that there's only a smidgen of unwell Americans liking his tweets & still supporting him? The rest of us are using his tweets as a verbal dart board while others are pasting his orange mug on a wall & using it 2 play Pin The Tail on the Ass, or wiping theirs with it https://t.co/lVLsLmXoLT

Trump now calling #COVID19 the "Chinese virus." Soon Trump will call the coronavirus the "Muslim flu" or "Mexican influenza" since demonizing both groups played great with his base in 2016. https://t.co/rCC0oybu2i

Let's get a few things correct, @realDonaldTrump:
1.) It's called #COVID19 or #coronavirus, you racist xenophobe.
2.) The US must support the working and poor people, not major billion dollar corporations.
3.) When you lose the 2020 election, we will be stronger than ever before. https://t.co/KfN6ZCG39X

Your racism is the OPPOSITE of what we need to defeat this GLOBAL virus.

This is a time for coming together as a global family to defeat #covid19.

Then, in November, Americans will defeat YOU. https://t.co/rmPjHRMTZG
